The bridge is needed, =las been needed for several years, and..n voting for the by- law, and having it passed, will provide for the payments to be spread over a a period of twelve ?ears and thus keep the tax rate down. If the by-law is not carried, the $1,600 ,will have to be pro- vided out of next :ear's taxes, and the rate will of necessi y have to be higher, The question o : a High School for Wingbam has the early support of the TIDIES and should be supported by the ratepayers. We t ink a High School will do more for t o good of the town than any other oni thing that could be established here. As was pointed out last week in these columns, the extra cost of a High Soh of to the ratepayers, over and above wh t we are now paying for continuation c as work will be less than one mill. T s is a very slight in- crease and the ex a oast should not be a hindrance to an ratepayer voting for the High School. A High School will bring in a number of new residents, In connversatioa wit a Wingham manu- facturer last week, he said two workmen come to the town we had no High town, not caring t to a town where t not have the ad School.

The wond- er is that Wingham did not have a High School years ago. We have one of the very best cent'. s in Ontario. ti oto "Yes"' on this ve y important question. The bylaw t. fix the rate of assess- ment on the C. loyd & Sou's door fac- tory is another uestion that will have to be considereby the ratepayers.

This gives a training in Stenograghy. Type- writing, etc., and n addition provides a good general edo ation in Literature, History, Geograp y, etc , the diploma granted being base upon proficiency in all the foregoing s jecte. While 45 villages n Ontario have High Schools, there are ut 0 towns in the older portion of thi province with popu- lation over 2000 wit out one. These are Preston and Hespel connected by elec- tric railway with th it close neighbors, Galt and Berlin, Pe tanguishene with itr reformity, Ambe tbnrg with a large colored population, i Wallaeeburg con- noted by electric 1 ne with Chatham, and last but not leastl our own town of Wingham. Isn't it patent to everyone that we are behind t times education- ally. Comparison is of te made between the High School which ' is proposed to es- tablish in Wingham and Collegiate In- stitutes such as at C inton, Seaforth and Goderieh. How n fair this is may be readily seen by the ollowing compara- tive statement of the miniuinca require- ments of each. HRHH' SCHOOL ( COL. 1N TITT O (a) Must have (a.)

This is a ha dship upon every town like Clinton w doh has burdened the tax payer with e ucatioual institp- tions beyond its requi ements. A year ago the High School I apector informed the Clinton Board tha there school had fallen below the requi ements of a Col- legiate Institute.

Clinton, Seaforth and Goderi to maintain their rank as Collegiate stitutes mast pay salaries aggregating rom $4400 to $5300. The average salari s for four masters High School is :3,00 .
